I am sure you could call Arlington Camera, Dallas Camera, Competitive Camera, Garland Camera and all the others in the area and figure out which one has what you want.

IMHO, you should consider the soft gold option (Photoflex) if you are purchasing a reflector. It throws nice light (in between gold and silver). However, Photoflex is a tad bit more expensive than the eBay 5-in-1s.

On another note, if you want cheap:

1. Use white foam board from Michaels or another craft shop.
2. Use foam board with spray-on cement and heavy duty aluminum foil for silver reflector
3. Use one of the collapsable window shades that you put in a car's front windshield for a cheap collapsable reflector.

I use the ones from Owen's Originals... They work well and are not terribly expensive.
